lively that General Robert =. Lee vas

General Lee declined the honor and

What would have been the result OF the
gar II General Lee had been In com

those which brought the country to the
settlement Of the slavery question on
the field OF battle. There vas great
deal Of by-play In the beginning that

that Gsaeral Robert E. Lee vas tender

II vas the wish Of Mr.. Lincoln's admin
istration that as many a. possible Of the
Southern officers then In the regular

oPuum AHD MORALITY.

The San Francisco CAreHiels draws
attention 10 the fact that opium ID b.
ing extensively smuRRled into the
United States from the province Of
Ontario. TIE Influences Of this drag
are 20 we'll known that We view with
alarm this latest development of Ice
Illicit introduction into cur midst. Not
that We think there Ia any immediate
danger Of our people hsFs becoming ad-
dIcsed 10 the use Of drug which IL
working such sad havoc with the youth
Of eur California neighboFs. But there
is room for alarm nevertheless, and We
are sorry 10 see our contemporary
adopting line Of argument as specious
a. ID 10 false. According 10 the In
Renious views Of the Cbronfcle the only
way 10 reduce the consumption Of the
drug 10 10 repeal the duty on IL alto
RttheE. thereby making its requirement
. matter Of ease for all. On the as.
sunpsiOn that people only enjoy What
they have 10 pay dearly for, our oontem-
poFaTy is In favor Of abolisbing the ten
dollar duty, arguing that as the drug
becomes cheap and common 30 the
craving for lie intoxioation will eradu-
ally die out. We don't know whether
10 be impressed 90 much With the nov
city Of the ChroHicis's views a. by ths
nimble and spFiehtly manner 10 which
they are propounded. Assuming for
the sake Of argument that the theory
advanced by our contemporary Is .
sound one, We shoald like 10 ask him
whether the repeal Of the corn duties in
England led 10 a diminished eonsump-
tion Of bread9 The question Is an ex.
aolly parallel one, and the answer 10 it
ia not q bit more laughter provoking
than the absurdity Of the views advo-
GATED BY the Chroaiels.
The present duty Of $40 . pound Is
NOT heavy enough 10 act as preveuta.
tive. and rather than zee the rising gen.
Grafton corrupted by lie influence We
vould have the duly on the drug raised
hundred per cent. We trust the day
10 far distant when our society here is
as leavsned with the opium habit as
San Francisco IL. The debasing effects
Of this vice on the mind do not need
the pen Of De Qainey or De Young 10
demonstrate and while the value Of the
drug a. q medicine has never been
questioned. 10 is 10 be feared that there
are ninety .niae cases where lie use IL
Illicit for one where Il IL justified. In
The case Of our Southern neighbour the
dttfusion Of the opium habit is 80 vide
that Il forms almost a. great an obsta-
Gle 10 the spread Of morality as alcohol
Itself. TIE reasoning IF the San Fran
cisco Chreaiels is 81 fiimsy as lie mo-
ralily IL speoious. and We are sorry 10
zee an influential journal advocating
the repeal Of the opium duty which,
even Al ice present low figure, 10 some
extent serves the purpose Of pFevsnta-
tive. Rather than zee the ''iolats" and
dens OF infamy Of san Francisco intro
daoed into Seattle 10 would favor The
duty on opium being raised ten. field.

AND the short of it all is, we can
not run the Post decently for dol
lar year and we are not going tt
try. We have begged enough fol
advertisement and have spent
enough time and stamps trying to
make living terms with patent med
icine men. There is no law to force
them and it takes two to make q
trade. There are advertisers who
recognize space in the Post as pos
sessing a real value and there are
readers who appreciate what merit
the Post possesses, are willing to
overlook its short comings and who
will be willing to pay $3.50 a year
for it, and have 1t hold up its head
and be a respectable, reasonably
independent paper rather than to
scrape it down to a condition neces.
stating everlasting begging for pat
ronage and a continual stream oil
apologies for errors and omissions
and general poor appearance of the
paper.--Dardanelle Post.
And this reminds us that the
DEMOCRAT is on the list OF one dol
lar weeklies, and whether the pa
per is worth a dollar, or more than
dollar, we leave for our readers to
decide for themselves. But what
we started out to say Is this: The
margin of profit on a weekly paper,
the size of the DEMOCRAT, at $l.OO
per year is so small as to require a
glass of great magnifylng power to
to see it. The GAINESVILLE Herald.
the GAINESVILLE Journal and the
Dardanelle Post have come to the
same conclusion and an increase
from $1.O0 to $3.50 in their subscrip-
ton price is the result. The DEMO
Graf management recognizes the
fact that this has not been pros
porous year among the masses, and
the time is not yet come for an in
crease in subscription rates. But
there is one thing which we feel
certain our friends will grant, and
that is, that, considering the low
price at which we furnish the pa
per, we are entitled TO and should
have ADVANCE PAYMENT. And this
point hereafter we shall strictly in
sist upon. We purpose offering
extra inducements to our subscrib-
ers to pay up arreareages and renew
for another year Let them come
forward at once and take advantage
of our liberal offer.

PRESIDENT Cleveland has arrived
safely at home, after having made
one of the most remarkable tours
ever made by a president in this
country. During this trip he has
seen almost every variety of Ameri.
can character; he has viewed with
amazement the busting enterprise
of the western metropolis; the broad
acres of Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Iowa have been passed over by him
and exhibited their industry, wealth
and beauty before his astonished
gaze; the humming new centers of
commercial activity and business
push, Omaho and Kansas City, have
givenshim practical exhibitions OF
what Is meant by Western "boom;"
be has passed through the south,
the section but recently devastated
by cruel war, and which to-day, un-
der the impetus of pluck, energy
and renewed confidence, begins to
blossom as the rose. 1t Is we'll that
Mr.. Cleveland has taken this trip,
for If it has not improved his educa-
ton, broadened his views, given him
better and clearer insight into the
character OF the people whose servant
he is, and what diversity OF count
ry and business depends largely
upon the wisdom, prudence and sa-
gacity of the law-making branch of
the government, then lie is not the
man the people take him to be. At
all times since be came into public
life Mr.. Cleveland has given evil
dence OF being a man Of good judg-
ment, quick to see and learn the
wants OF the people, and possessing
an intuitive perception OF popular
feeling on all leading questions.
THIS he has shown by his State pa
pers and his vetoes. The people
every where have met Mr.. Cleveland
and greeted him warmly. The carp,
ings and fault findings OF a bitter re-
publican press has not detracted
from the warm welcome be received.
And twill be difficult to convince
observing men that the generous
greeting accorded him was due alone
